Also it sounds that a lot of songs are one takers? Or am I the only one who thinks?

[Pottel]

blood and water, LE, how can you NOT like the awesome playing at the end! get in there and check it again young man!!

[Love Expresso]

will do... the solo is nice I know... (in fact, coincidentally, I have it on my earphones JUST right at this moment...) maybe it will grow on me...

But "Today Is Okay" has not to grow in me, it is GREAT! I love the lyrics on this one - the idea that it is Sonny Liston, the "Bear" who "never smiles", and Mark gives him such a great mood and such a good day... and the drums are phantastic on this one (as on the whole album in general)... no, I am not sure if Danny could have delivered such quality... real live feeling and interaction between drums and Mark ...
"
And the beginning of "I Used To Could": These drums! The first lines are sung almost like a intro, and then, when MK sings "DMC cannonball going like a train - all down the 40 in the driving rain" the song REALLY starts and I get goosebumps EVERY time!... Could on the same about so many other songs on this great album...

i start to prefer the blues tracks at the moment. crazy.

Got to have something. hear this loud - the intro is great.

indeed, danny is a cool guy and passionate drummer, but i think ian brings an new style into the tracks -

Great album, another collection of a lot great songs.
Are very great:
Blood and Water: very nice song, great Les Paul 
Bluebird: no doubt best blues song in the album 
Gator Blood: this one is special, very surprise JJ  sound 
Go love: you can put it in all DS albums 
Dream Of Drowned Submariner: wonderful like all his intimist songs 
Privateering & Haul away: Best folk songs
Redbud tree & Seattle: stratocaster forever
Miss you blues & Corned beef city: bottleneck go go go

I think that the level of album is highter but there's not THE SONG this time like other albums for example So far from the Clyde in GL.

i think i am bit melancholic and thoughtful at the time, as i will be father of twins soon and life goes in new direction ...

the silent songs about death and hope makes me shiver - only the music of knopfler can achieve those emotions in me ...

"submariner" stays my masterpiece -

can

I have to say that the more I listen to the blues tracks..the more I like them..and the addition of Kim Wilson to the lineup for those songs was shear genius! LOVE his harp playing..adds a new dimension to Mark's attempts at the blues.

sorry to read it makes you sad. i am happy to be able to say i like most songs except the radio city thing, boring as fuck.i used to could is not mentioned too often, but it is brilliant too!

I can't understand not liking Radio City, it's instantly likable - poll to ban Pottel?

[El Macho]

There ain't no bad song on this album !
I only heard them on my computer so far, cos I ain't got the CDs yet....
But it gonna's be a good moment !
I used to could, gator blood, bluebird, today is okay, corned beef city, after the beanstalk, blood and water.... on a high level on my hi-fi system, I'm waiting like a kid for his toy !

 

[JeroenvG]

Your perfect song is also wonderfull. Oh and HFB from the download bonus, stunning version!

[El Macho]

MK is a melody genius, as weel as a guitar genius or a songwriting genius !
All his songs always have a melody that catches your brain !

interesting, first mutiny attempt on here...

[MisterYES]

The only one which has way too sudden end is Yon Two Crows. I was really expecting a fey rounds more long solo at the end, after that great theme 

Got no probs with fade outs though...

If they start banning those who don't understand Radio City Serenade, it's gonna be a full time job. For at least two or three people 
And then we have to set up a new forum. A red one, I was told the color is free now.
